I don't know what it is about this time of year that makes me start reflecting over how I've spent my time on this whirling orb.
As I think back I realize how hard it is to view the world through the eyes of my childhood. As children every day is filled with awe and wonder. A child's mind is still filled with the idea that anything and everything is possible. They haven't begun building the mental walls yet. They haven't learned to worry what others think.
Watch a child learning to walk and it's amazing. No matter how many times they fall down, they hop back up because they instinctively know that eventually they'll be able to walk. They don't have to worry what others think. They have no need to put up a front. But somewhere along the line they learn to be practical. Their creativity becomes stifled over time, as the world teaches them to fit in. Eventually they don't bounce back as fast when they fail. Having fun is no longer the goal. Learning and growing are now a chore. Goals are no longer lofty. Goals are now set within the confines of their more limited view of life.
It doesn't have to be like that. You and I can tear down those walls that are closing in and start fresh. It's time to bring back that sense of joy and wonder.
When you're setting your goals for the New Year, think like a child. Expand your thinking. Set your goals as if anything is possible. Don't worry about what "they" think. It's your goal and you can achieve it. View the world through the wonder struck eyes of a child.
In the words of Napoleon Hill, "If you can conceive it, you can achieve it." I know you can do great things. Do you?
我不知道是什麽，讓我在每年的這個時候都反思自己是怎樣在這個大循環中生存的。
當我回憶從前的時候，就會意識到，自己很難再用小時候的眼光來看待這個世界。因為孩提時的每一天都充滿了敬畏和新奇。一切皆有可能的思想仍然充斥著孩子的頭腦，他們還沒有開始構築精神的防護牆，還不懂得為他人的看法而感到煩惱。
